Predictions for Short Gamma-Ray Burst Detections by COSI
Eliza Neights, Eric Burns, Nicolò Parmiggiani +21
The Compton Spectrometer and Imager (COSI) is a soft gamma-ray telescope scheduled to launch in 2027. COSI will trigger onboard the spacecraft in response to short-duration transie…
The Carruthers Mission Concept and Performance
W. Craig, T. Immel, L. Waldrop +12
The Carruthers Geocoronal Observatory (Carruthers), formerly GLIDE, is a NASA Heliophysics Science Mission of Opportunity implemented through the Solar Terrestrial Probes (STP) Pro…
Design and Performance of the Carruthers Geocoronal Imager
Martin Sirk, Alex M. Zhang, Thomas J. Immel +13
The GeoCoronal Imager (GCI) onboard the Carruthers Geocorona Observatory is the primary scientific instrument of the mission. It is designed to measure far ultraviolet light at 121…
Automatic detection of impact craters on Al foils from the Stardust interstellar dust collector using convolutional neural networks
Logan Jaeger, Anna L. Butterworth, Zack Gainsforth +9
NASA's Stardust mission utilized a sample collector composed of aerogel and aluminum foil to return cometary and interstellar particles to Earth. Analysis of the aluminum foil begi…
Fine-grained Material Associated with a Large Sulfide returned from Comet 81P/Wild 2
Zack Gainsforth, Andrew J. Westphal, Anna L. Butterworth +10
In a consortium analysis of a large particle captured from the coma of comet 81P/Wild 2 by the Stardust spacecraft, we report the discovery of a field of fine-grained material (FGM…
Measurement of the Oxidation state of Fe in the ISM using X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy
Andrew J. Westphal, Anna L. Butterworth, John A. Tomsick +1
The oxidation state of iron in the interstellar medium (ISM) can provide constraints on the processes that operated on material in the protosolar disk. We used synchrotron-based X-…
Atomic Layer deposition of 2D and 3D standards for quantitative synchrotron-based composition and structural analysis methods
Nicholas G. Becker, Anna Butterworth, Andrey Sokolov +5
The use of Standard Reference Materials (SRM) from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for quantitative analysis of chemical composition using Synchrotron bas…
The Future of Stardust Science
A. J. Westphal, J. C. Bridges, D. E. Brownlee +13
Recent observations indicate that >99% of the small bodies in the Solar System reside in its outer reaches --- in the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud. Kuiper Belt bodies are probably th…
Oxygen Isotopic Composition of Coarse- and Fine-grained Material from Comet 81P/Wild 2
Ryan C. Ogliore, Kazuhide Nagashima, Gary R. Huss +3
Individual particles from comet 81P/Wild 2 collected by NASA's Stardust mission vary in size from small sub-m fragments found in the walls of the aerogel tracks, to large fragme…
Incorporation of a Late-forming Chondrule into Comet Wild 2
R. C. Ogliore, G. R. Huss, K. Nagashima +6
We report the petrology, O isotopic composition, and Al-Mg isotope systematics of a chondrule fragment from the Jupiter-family comet Wild 2, returned to Earth by NASA's Stardust mi…
Comparison of the Oxidation State of Fe in Comet 81P/Wild 2 and Chondritic-Porous Interplanetary Dust Particles
R. C. Ogliore, A. L. Butterworth, S. C. Fakra +3
The fragile structure of chondritic-porous interplanetary dust particles (CP- IDPs) and their minimal parent-body alteration have led researchers to believe these particles origina…
Aerogel keystones: extraction of complete hypervelocity impact events from aerogel collectors
Andrew J. Westphal, Christopher J. Snead, Anna L. Butterworth +7
In January 2006, the Stardust mission will return the first samples from a solid solar-system body since Apollo, and the first samples of contemporary interstellar dust ever collec…
